Spec

Early Tag Review: https://github.com/w3ctag/design-reviews/issues/379
Summary
The content index allows websites to register their offline enabled content in the browser. The browser can then improve users’ offline capabilities by offering content to browse through while offline. This API is not another storage mechanism, but rather a metadata mechanism. How the offline content is created is orthogonal to this API.

Goals for experimentation
Is the way the content is surfaced to the user enough of an incentive for developers to start using the API?
Is the offline experience better now for users?
Experimental timeline
M80-M82
Any risks when the experiment finishes?
None
Ongoing technical constraints
None
Will this feature be supported on all five Blink platforms supported by Origin Trials (Windows, Mac, Linux, Chrome OS, and Android)?
The feature is platform agnostic, but the experiment will only run on Android since the offline problem is more prevalent there.
